As Alex started collecting the Yin Qi, the coldness in the room lowered a lot and the ice around the bed and floor started melting, turning back to water that dampened the floorboard even more.
This had happened before when the talisman could no longer maintain the girl's Yin and had to be replaced, and it was the first time the father was seeing anything remotely close to that without any talisman.
He could tell that whatever Alex was doing, even if it wasn't working, was definitely producing a positive result.
He moved backward, pulling the young man with him as they went all the way back to stand by the wall, leaving Alex a larger working space in the room.
Alex continued absorbing Yin through the girl, pulling what he could from her wrist that he clutched tightly. When he felt the flow of Yin slow down, he looked to see if Yin had run out or something.
